Buddy Hall Totally Explained

Everything about Buddy Hall totally explained

Cecil P. "Buddy" Hall (born May 29, 1945 in Metropolis, Illinois) has been an American professional pool player for three decades. Nicknamed "The Rifleman" for his accuracy, pool organizations like the International Pool Tour herald Hall as a "living pool legend", which is one of the reasons why he's today a BCA Hall of Famer.
Hall has been credited for creating the "clock system" which is a technique for where to hit the cue-ball, using the clock as a mechanism for where to aim.
Hall began playing at 14 years of age in a soda shop in his home town. When local pool rooms wouldn't let him enter because of his age, he used subterfuge to obtain a new birth certificate from a local judge which stated he was of legal age. He cut his teeth at Herbie Lynn's pool room and was soon dominating the regulars. It wasn't long before he hit the road to try his hand at a wider playing field. He first gained some prominence at the Johnson City tournaments.

I went there to watch all the greats of the day play. Wimpy, Jersey Red, Eddie Taylor, Cornbread Red, Harold Worst, Jimmy Moore, Fats and U.J. were playing one another in both the tournament and in backroom ring games. I entered and was very pleased when I beat Wimpy and Jersey Red and won my entry fee back. He was named Player of the Year by the pool media, to include The National Billiard News and Pool and Billiards Magazine, in 1982, 1991, and 1998. Hall currently is a member of the International Pool Tour and still competes on various regional tours and senior events throughout the United States.
